Right now, my life is filled with a lot of waiting. Waiting can be so hard. But another thing that can be even harder is be an active waiter. God wants us to use every second of our lives for His glory. I think that when we think we are waiting for something, we can forget to make sure to utilize these in-between times. I think we sometimes forget that these times are just as important as any other time. No moment is any less important or critical, when thinking of it spiritually.

In church yesterday, one thing stood out to me during the message. "It's the day to day mundane things that ultimately glorifies Christ."

I am reminded of a song that I want to define me...especially during this season:

While I'm WaitingBy John Waller

I'm waitingI'm waiting on You, LordAnd I am hopefulI'm waiting on You, LordThough it is painfulBut patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confidentTakeing every step in obedienceWhile I'm waitingI will serve YouWhile I'm waitingI will worshipWhile I'm waitingI will not faintI'll be running the raceEven while I wait

I'm waitingI'm waiting on You, LordAnd I am peacefulI'm waiting on You, LordThough it's not easyBut faithfully, I will waitYes, I will waitI will serve You while I'm waitingI will worship while I'm waitingI will serve You while I'm waitingI will worship while I'm waitingI will serve you while I'm waitingI will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

I too have been feeling in between things- thinking about college, but not there yet, still part of youth group, but not really "a part" of youth group (besides two or three people, all of my friends either already graduated or will this year), and I don't know, just in general in between things...So to make a long story short(er) :-), very timely post for me too :-)

About Me

I am a Christian; saved by grace. Jesus has taken over my life...I belong to Him. I am passionately in love with Him. He saturates my thoughts and consumes my mind in the most lovely way imaginable. My goal in life is to honor, serve and live for and because of God in all that I do. I am a sinner and I fail often. Anything that ever looks beautiful /in/ me is not my doing, but God's. All glory goes to God. God is what matters most in my life. Period.
I really enjoy a good, deep discussion. I have strong convictions. I'm not easily swayed. I enjoy debate, theology and apologetics. I like to be challenged by good things. I like to encourage accountability and I am open to correction.
I /love/ people a lot. I like learning about, caring for, challenging and encouraging people. I am more concerned about your soul and your growth than I am about your happiness in the moment....
I also love to laugh....and smile. It's hard for me not to. I am kinda sarcastic. I love children. I love swing dancing. I have a heart for ministry. Yep, that's me :)
